Drag and Drop open folder

Post by kutkin »

Hi there. A question.
Is it possible to drag a folder from say WinExplorer or some program and drop it into xyplorer to make it open (ideally in a new tab).

I use Voidtools Everything to lookup certain files/folders and don't want to view them in Explorer.
What I do is I copy the path, go to xyplorer, open new tab, Ctrl + G, and paste.

Quite tiresome if you ask me. I've got a dual monitor setup with Everything on the secondary monitor so it would be ideal to just take the folder and drag it to xyplorer. All I can achieve is copy the folder to the place I drag it into. Which is not what I want. :mrgreen:

Thanks for reading and answering.

Everything works flawlessly with XYplorer and you don't need to use drag and drop to open a folder in XYplorer^^

Awesome! Thanks a bunch.
Works like magic. I had some problems with the brackets in "Program Files (x86)" when rewriting the Everything.ini.
This is how I solved it:

open_folder_command=$exec("..\XYplorer\XYplorer.exe" "%1")
open_folder_path_command=$exec("..\XYplorer\XYplorer.exe" "$parent(%1)")
